## Resource

And David said, What have I now done? **Is there not a cause?** (1 Samuel 17:29) *The cause was: -* *1/ To bring deliverance to Israel. 2/ To bring David to the throne of Israel. 3/ To provide a type of the victory of David's greater Son, Jesus Christ. 4/ To shew for generations to come that there is a cause for all that God does.* **Sermon Summary:** This sermon examines the account of David and Goliath to reveal God's sovereign purpose behind seemingly chaotic events. The preacher argues that every divine action has a specific cause, whether for deliverance, preparation, or typology pointing to Christ. Key themes include the necessity of faith over human strength and the assurance that God orchestrates delays and trials for His glory. The text serves as a reminder that believers can trust in God's hidden plans even when circumstances are perplexing. Ultimately, the message encourages reliance on Jesus Christ as the ultimate victor over sin and death.
